SafeBVM’s CAPCE-Accredited Workshop Featured in EMS World

We’re excited to share that the SafeBVM manual ventilation workshop, a CAPCE-accredited training program, was recently featured in EMS World. This recognition highlights the growing importance of standardizing manual ventilation — one of the most common but least consistent interventions in resuscitation. Manual ventilation often suffers from variability. Over-ventilation, hyperventilation, and inconsistent pressures compromise outcomes […]

Non-Invasive Ventilation: In-Depth Clinical Perspectives from Dr. Arthur Slutsky

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers life-saving positive pressure support without intubation. Backed by strong evidence in COPD and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, NIV reduces mortality and prevents intubation when applied correctly. Success depends on careful patient selection, close monitoring in the first hours, and the right interface fit. In hypoxemic respiratory failure, however, delayed intubation can worsen outcomes — making early recognition of failure critical. With new tools like helmet NIV and high-flow nasal oxygen, the role of non-invasive ventilation in critical care is rapidly evolving. […]
